Bizarre Sinema
Angekündigt ist endlich auch der 5. Band der Bizarre Sinema! Reihe. Im Gegensatz zum ursprünglich geplanten Titel "THRILLING ALL'ITALIANA 1963 - 1982" (siehe Bild links), wird aber zunächst "JAPANESE ERO GRO & PINKU EIGA, 1956 - 1979" veröffentlicht.
Der Titel ist Programm. Es geht um den japanischen Sexfilm (Pinku Eiga) und den sogenannten Ero-Gro (Erotic-Grotesque), einem Genre, in dem sich klassischer Chambara- und Samurai-Film mit Sex- und Horrorelementen mischt.
Ob "Thrilling all'Italiana" noch erscheint oder komplett aufgegeben wurde, ist nicht bekannt. "Bizarre Sinema! 1: Sexploitation Filmmakers" ist übrigens vergriffen.
Weiterhin angekündigt ist dafür der dritte Band von "WESTERN ALL'ITALIANA".

BIZARRE SINEMA! #3
JESS FRANCO - THE SEX OF HORROR
The incredible universe of exploitation movie through the improbable but real works of the prolific Jess Franco. From sexy-horror films to "Fumetti" style movies, from soft core to hard core porn Franco has done it all! Released by the Italian publisher Glittering Images who is best know for the amazing Bizarre Sinema #2; Italian Horror. This book, number 3 in the series, will continue the tradition of excellent graphics, including many rare full color photos and posters, a complete filmography and a detailed interview. Almost 200 pages of Franco to feed your obsession! Includes a foreword by Jack Taylor.
"Blindly revered by his small/numerous international legion of loyal fans, worshipped by a restricted circle of erotomaniac filmgoers, respected by followers of psychotronic cinema, esteemed by certain aficionados of the fantastique (those who don't feel that B-movies are beneath them), and, on the other hand reviled by the most refined "cinephiles"...Without any doubt, and whatever one's personal opinion may be, Jesus Franco is definitely an utterly anomalous figure, albeit an extraordinary one. Not only in terms of the history of Spanish and European Cinema, but also in the context of the last few decade's genre production worldwide." --http://www.debased.com/debased/content/literature/b/bizarre-sin.html [Jun 2005]

Les éditions « Glittering Images » ont une fois de plus fait un travail remarquable. Ce nouveau livre rend un vibrant hommage à quelques perles du cinéma de quartier. L’épouvante y est à l’honneur avec des analyses très complètes de plusieurs chef-d’œuvres. Citons pour mémoire le fameux « Peeping Tom » avec un jeune Karl-Heinz Boehm inquiétant à souhait, ainsi qu’une Pamela Green délicieuse et « Le cirque des horreurs » une autre perle du cinéma d’horreur. Anton Diffring en chirurgien fou et directeur de cirque trouve là un rôle à sa mesure. D’autres films sont analysés, notamment « Crime au musée des horreurs », « Le moulin des supplices » et le déroutant « Mort dans le filet » qui combine habilement érotisme et épouvante.
Le livre est trilingue (italien, anglais et français), superbement illustré par des photos en noir et blanc et en couleur. La préface est écrite par un spécialiste du genre : Jean-Pierre Bouyxou. Un livre magnifique à la hauteur des chef-d’œuvres pour une fois analysés par d’authentiques cinéphiles. --nussbaum22 via Amazon.fr
